Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 laptop version may launch with fewer CUDA cores than initially anticipated

[Redaktion]

A new leak has revealed the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 laptop version will not offer much in the way of a CUDA core count increase over its last-gen counterpart. Instead, it will leverage the new Blackwell architecture and 16 GB of GDDR7 VRAM to offer anywhere between a 40-60% performance boost.

The performance uplift will come from the shift to GDDR7 rather than Cuda core count.
